Job 37

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 At this, my heart became frightened, and it has been moved from its place.	1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
2 Pay close attention to the alarm of his voice and to the sound that proceeds from his mouth.	2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3 He beholds everything under the heavens, and his light reaches beyond the ends of the earth.	3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 After this, a noise will sound; he will thunder with the voice of his greatness, and it will not be tracked down, yet his voice will be obeyed.	4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 God will thunder with his voice miraculously, for he performs great and unsearchable things.	5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 He commands the snow to descend on earth, and the winter rains, and the shower of his strength.	6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7 He signs the hand of all men, so that each one may know his works.	7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 The beast will enter his hiding-place, and he will remain in his cave.	8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 From the interior, a storm will come forth, and a cold winter from the north.	9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10 As God breathes out, frost forms, and the waters are poured forth very widely again.	10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Crops desire clouds, and the clouds scatter their light.	11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
12 It shines all around, wherever the will of him that governs them will lead, to anywhere he will command, over the whole face of the earth,	12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13 whether in one tribe, or in his own region, or in whatever place of his mercy that he will order them to be found.	13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 Listen to these things, Job. Stand up and consider the wonders of God.	14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Do you know when God ordered the rains, so as to show the light of his clouds?	15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Do you know the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect sciences?	16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 Are not your garments hot, when the south wind blows across the land?	17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
18 Perhaps you have made the heavens with him, which are very solid, as if they had been cast from brass.	18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
19 Reveal to us what we should say to him, for, of course, we are wrapped in darkness.	19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
20 Who will explain to him the things that I am saying? Even while a man is still speaking, he will be devoured.	20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21 Although they do not see the light, the air will be thickened suddenly into clouds, and the wind, passing by, will drive them away.	21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Riches arrive from the north, and fearful praise reaches out to God.	22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
23 We are not worthy to be able to find him. Great in strength, great in judgment, great in justice: he is indescribable.	23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24 Therefore, men will fear him, and all those who seem to themselves to be wise, will not dare to contemplate him.	24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
